30. CHLOEA SARCHYNNIS Jordan and Snyder, new species. 
Head 8| in Icng-th; depth 5i; d-^pth of caudal peduncle 3 in head; 
eye 4; snout 8^; maxillary 1|; D. Vll-18; A. 13; P. 20; scales in lateral 
series 70, in transverse series 20. 
Body rather elong-ate, somewhat compressed. Head long, sharp. 
Eyes directed laterally, the space between them about equal to their 
diameter. Snout a little longer than eye. Mouth larg-e, oblique; lower 
jaw projecting ])eyond the upper. Maxillary very long, extending 
beyond posterior border of qjq and considerabl}" farther than cleft of 
mouth, its posterior third being free. Teeth simple, ver}^ small , slender; 
in narrow bands on both jaws. Tongue very deeply cleft. Vomer 
with 2 conspicuous pads projecting downw ard, each apposed to a lobe 
of the tongue. Gill openings extending moderatelj^ far forward; the 
width of isthmus about equal to length of snout. No papilhB on inner 
edge of shoulder girdle. Gill-rakers on lirst arch (5 + 14, long and 
Very slender. Head without barbels. 
Head naked; l)ody covered with small, finely ctenoid scales, except 
on breast and nape; the naked space on nape not quite reaching inser- 
tion of spinous dorsal. 
Dorsals widely separated, the spines short and slender, the lays a 
little longer than spines; when depressed the lin falls far short of 
reaching caudal. Anal inserted below base of second dorsal ray; when
